BHADRA YOGA CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Drop-in Classes (taught by Melanie and staff teachers; please arrive at least 15 minutes before scheduled class time; we lock the door on the hour)

Vinyasa Yoga: (MOVE!) A series of poses linked with the breath. An intense movement class that challenges your balance, increases strength and promotes stamina. This style of yoga sculpts the body and tunes the breath. A minimum of 3 sequences are practiced during each class. Please give yourself a few classes to learn and be comfortable with the sequencing. We are not here to struggle! There are seven Vinyasa classes on the schedule as of Feb. 1st.

Hatha Yoga: (STOP/START!) Hatha yoga means “sun and moon.” It literally refers to the postures/poses practiced in any style yoga class. In this class, we focus on a sequence of postures (asanas) that balance all areas of the body, held for up to one minute. Standing poses and poses on the floor are incorporated. An eclectic mix each week. There are three Hatha classes offered per week as of Feb. 1st.

Yin Yoga: (DON’T MOVE!) Laying and seated postures are held longer giving time for the connective tissues around the joints to soften and stretch. Soothing and calming , this sequence of poses particularly focuses on the hips and hamstrings. This physical focus and mental focus on stillness allows prana to move freely through the entire body and helps loosen the mind’s resistance to stillness. Upper arm strength is involved in most of the poses. A mentally challenging class……a meditation. Can you be still? There are currently two Yin classes offered per week as of February 1st.

Beginning Yoga: Offered every Saturday at 12:30, this class is designed for those new to yoga. Each week one of our three styles of yoga is taught at a slower pace with more explanation of the names and workings of the poses. After learning each style for 6 weeks, you are ready to drop-in to any class that fits your schedule.

Restorative Yoga: Developed by Judith Lasater and based on the Iyengar prop system, Restorative Yoga is a deep healing and releasing type of Hatha Yoga. We practice approximately six different poses using bolsters, blankets, eye pillows and sandbags, resting in each pose for a minimum of 5 minutes to a maximum of 20 minutes. Breath awareness and observing your thoughts is the focus of Restorative Yoga. Once the body lets go and becomes still, the breath and the mind become calm. Through this meditative approach, we bring ourselves into a state of deep relaxation, and the innate intelligence of the body returns and reintegrates the system to its natural state of balance and peace. You will be pampered and leave these classes feeling completely refreshed. This class is offered three Sundays per month from 2:00 – 3:30p.m. and is limited to 5 people. A reservation is required by phoning the studio at 402-553-9642. Price is $20 if paid in advance; $25 at the door. You do not need your yoga mat for this class. Also, this class fills up quickly; therefore, make your reservation as early in the week as possible.
